WilmerHale Partner Stephen M. Cutler was named Executive Vice President, General Counsel of JPMorgan Chase, effective February 2007. In his new role, Mr. Cutler will serve as head of the company’s legal and compliance activities worldwide.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Steve,” said William J.

We are proud of Steve and his accomplishments. While we will miss him, we wish him nothing but the best.”
